In addition, the control group showed relatively high positive staining for CD163, whereas ZJC and anti-PD-1 inhibited the expression or aggregation of CD163-positive cells.<h4>Conclusion</h4>ZJC exerts dual anti-tumor effects by inhibiting the mTOR-eIF4E/p70S6K-CDK1 pathway and remodeling the immunosuppressive microenvironment of HCC. This evidence concerns the gene CDK1 and neoplasm.
